Today, I spend the morning at Prewitt, seeing 79 species despite only one duck species and 5 shorebirds. The water level is up, and shorebird habitat is nil. The inlet channel is still birdable, and nicely so. Mike San Miguel and I had, among other things, the following highlights there
1 Ovenbird
1 BAW Warbler
1 Gray Flycatcher
A small spot of beach and a dead tree made for a tern perching area to the north, near the north parking area (which is by the "ranger" house"). There I found a one year old Arctic Tern (photos to come) and an apparent one year old Common Tern. Oddly, the Common had an all red bill. The Arctic had an all black bill.
Just northeast of the white ranger's house there is a depression, this year with water in it, near the outlet channel. It is surrounded by willows and locust. There I found a very cooperative ad female or imm male Canada Warbler.
Barr Lake was loaded with waterbirds, the most interesting of which was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull
